Title: Hello folks, new guy from Glasgow here
Post by Comfortzone on May 18^th, 2007, 11:53pm

my username on the granada site was jammer but as i finally took the plunge and bought a scorpio then a fitting username had to be thought of to suit my car.I really intended to buy a scorpio ultima LONG before now but somehow never got round to it.I have had the car since easter monday and it has behaved very well, though it is a bit greedy but i can live with that as the comfort and gadgets of the car make it all worthwhile.I have already met up with scorpio man who very kindly gave the car the once over for me and plugged it into his computer and made my day by telling me it was pretty good indeed.I need to get myself a set of scorpio alloys and a rear view mirror but i have already purchased a brand new key fob which i need to find out how to programme(i got one working fob with the car )

Hi,

and welcome to the site. I too was once a MKIII 4x4 owner and have now owned 3 of the Scorpios... no comparrison really when it comes to gadgets; but then again the were designed in different decades I guess!"!

Scorpioman is a nice guy but he does go on about that Harewood meeting a bit... ;D

Instructions for programming the remote can be found here:

Tintin,laser treatment has been done,i have worked very hard and i am now ready for your wheels and mirror.I am unsure as to how long i will be keeping the car due to circumstances(moaning wife)but i will surely find it easier to sell with the correct wheels on when the time comes
